Finding bikini bottoms that offer performance AND coverage used to be difficult.Until now. (This is where things get serious.)It used to be that you had to choose. Performance swimsuit or full-cut swimsuit. Daring style or modest coverage. Pull and tug or pull-on and relax. Hang ten in the surf or lounge by the pool. However, Patagonia's Paries Hipster Bikini Bottoms solve that by combining a fun boy-shorts style with full coverage through the seat. They feature hidden seams and hidden elastic at the leg and waist openings for a secure, flattering fit that stays in place without pinching. These wide-cut bikini bottoms sit straight across your hips for comfort whether you wear them for surfing, SUP yoga, swimming at the ocean, lake, pool or waterpark, playing beach volleyball or just enjoying a playful day in the sun. And on top of all that, their fabric incorporates as much recycled polyester and nylon as possible in order to lessen our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source and cause less air, water and soil contamination.5.8oz. 83% recycled polyester/17% spandex jersey body fabric; 5.4oz. 83% recycled nylon/17% spandex jersey lining.
